He represented India in 68 international matches across all formats, featuring in 22 Tests, 36 ODIs and 10 T20Is. In his international career, 76 Test wickets, 64 ODI wickets and 16 scalps in T20Is. Mishra also holds a sensational record in the tournament’s history, as he is the only player to have collected three hat-tricks, registering them for different franchises – Delhi Daredevils in 2008, Deccan Chargers in 2011 and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013.
